Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Live Coverage
Match Preview
Manchester United, coming off victories against Liverpool and Sunderland, are targeting a trio of victories in a row tonight. Confidence is high managed by Ruben Amorim for the very first time!
Yet, their visitors tonight are the Seagulls, with victories on each of their last three trips to Old Trafford, winning six from seven League meetings head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; for the Seagulls relatively easy. Nevertheless, Brighton are otherwise as gloriously unpredictable similar to their opponents, so this game is competing and maybe highly entertaining.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening and we say this for the last time in a while because remember the clocks fall back tonight, kids. It’s on!

Team News
Man Utd have made two adjustments after last week’s victory at Anfield last weekend. Šeško starts instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro replaces him in defence.
Maguire picked up an injury in midweek sessions. Malacia makes the squad on the bench in 2025-26.
The Seagulls opted for one change following victory at home versus Newcastle. It’s ostensibly a defensive one, swapping in Maxim De Cuyper instead of Gómez, now among the subs.
The striker, a member of the last Manchester United squad to win the Premier League in 2012-13, comes back to Manchester on a hot streak scoring four in three, an improvement on over his last 15 matches.
Leading Stories
Amorim is unfazed for the opinions of Arne Slot … but Danny Welbeck is highly concerned with the thought processes by the former Chelsea manager.
It is widely discussed this encounter could have implications for both teams’ seasons in the top flight campaign progresses.
Key players to watch include Bruno Fernandes from the hosts and the Brighton forward for the visitors, both on song recently.
